LONDON (Reuters) - Jimmy Greaves, Tottenham Hotspur's all-time record scorer, will be inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in May ending a long and inexplicable wait that has lasted for more than a decade.
Greaves, 75, who scored 266 goals for Spurs in 379 games in all competitions between 1961 and 1970, famously joined the London club from AC Milan for 99,999 pounds ($147,999) in December 1961, a few months after they became the first team in the 20th century to win the league and FA Cup double.
